I just want to share something cool with you. This isn't an original thought or discovery, nonetheless let me share.
God is very cool. He made the world out of nothing. Everything we see, hear, smell, is all from him. Not only did he simply "speak" the world into being, he did it ex nihilo. Have you ever meditated on that before? We ask questions like "I understand spiders, but ticks? Seriously God?" We think that there are things we would do differently. That's noble, but you can only imagine and "fix" what God has already made!
Try to imagine a new color?
Okay, don't hurt yourself.
Try to create an entirely unique animal?
Good luck.
Anything you imagine will use recycled parts from other animals. The point is that anything we create, no matter how awesome, is only a secondhand image of what God has already made.
God is the only one who truly imagined something, created something. We have simply recycled things in a creative way. I don't have a deep spin to put on this, I am simply amazed. In the words of the great scholar and theologian Ron Burgundy, "Don't act like you're not impressed."
[Grace and peace.]
